D52 Caliper Rear Disc Brake Brackets

[Captainfab]

The '79-'85 calipers will not work. They are much different from the D52 calipers. If you need an e-brake caliper you can use the '76-'78 Eldorado, Toronado and Riviera calipers as shown in the pic above. Those are interchangeable with the D52 calipers.

A rear disc bracket set that uses the Metric style D154 caliper will be coming. I just do not know just when as there are several other projects ahead of that.

The reason I ask is because I have found a set of the D154 calipers with ebrake, brake lines, ebrake lines and hardware, drilled 5 lug rotors and basically everything else I need for 399. Seems like a decent price.

I would really prefer to use the Wilwood D52's as I will be using them up front, but I need a parking brake.

Capt., This from post #458 from about 5 years ago. Any chance you got around to doing this style bracket? I have a set of the metric calipers with the e-brake that I would like to use on my C10 for the rear and keep my 5 on 5 pattern. What are my options with your brackets that you sell? There are kits out on the market, but since I have the calipers, I think I could save some money...

Thanks!

Sorry but no I have not made any progress on any new rear disc conversion brackets. I am still working 80hrs/7 days a week every week every month......no days off. So I just do not have any extra time. I keep trying but something always comes up and prevents me from developing new parts that I have been talking about for years.
